Playing basketball in Germany a hair-raising experience for Nankivil

ULM, Germany ? Keaton Nankivil?s sweet stroke from beyond the arc is still the same. He still keeps his family and friends in Wisconsin close to his heart. He also still claims to be a quiet guy, yet turns chatty when sharing stories about standing in awe at the ruins in Rome, learning just enough German to be able to order food and perfectly dissecting the pro basketball teams around Deutschland. But there?s something very different about Nankivil, a former Madison Memorial and University of Wisconsin athlete who now calls Germany home.
